From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Adds xdg-toplevel-icon for changing icon in places like the titlebar without needing to create desktop entries.

Also adds ext-image-capture-source and ext-image-copy-capture which is used for capturing outputs/windows, used in wlroots and Cosmic.

color management is actually super hard to do, so making sure it's done right is very important, so this is one of the few times it actually makes sense. I mean, just take a look at windows, it still looks like shit over there.
